Senior Data Engineer

Would you like to play a role in turning data from Finland’s largest e-commerce platform, one of the country’s most extensive customer bases, and vast volumes of gaming event data into a strong foundation for data-driven decision-making?

We are looking for a Data Engineer to bring additional expertise and insight to our approximately 20-person Data as a Service team, which is part of Veikkaus’ TECH organization. This is a permanent, full-time position.

Our day-to-day work includes maintaining existing solutions, building new ones, and continuously developing our ways of working — both in terms of technology and processes. We value a strong willingness and ability to learn, along with a genuine interest in technical data processing. For more experienced Data Engineers, we expect not only solid expertise and vision, but also a drive to develop team practices and tools, support the implementation of changes, guide daily work, and help colleagues succeed. The role can be shaped based on your strengths and experience. 

Our team’s scope at Veikkaus is broad. We work across the full data lifecycle — from integrating data through various interfaces, to transforming and storing it, and ultimately delivering it for analytics and other solutions. A significant part of our work focuses on operational ETL/ELT processes. On the development side, we design and build future data platform solutions while continuously improving efficiency.

Our current key technologies include:

• SQL
• GCP and its native services (e.g. BigQuery) 
• Kafka 
• NiFi 
• Pentaho (PDI) 
• DBT

We expect you to bring strong hands-on experience in SQL. Technologies such as GCP, Kafka, and NiFi are more platform-oriented. Familiarity with them is a plus, but you may not work extensively with these, particularly in the beginning. Experience in DevOps is considered an advantage.

This role is for you if you:

• Are passionate about technical data processing 
• Have a desire to develop ways of working 
• Are familiar with agile methods and understand their value 
• Appreciate long-term development and continuous improvement 
• Are a team player and able to communicate in English with different stakeholders

We offer:

• A workplace where the game evolves – and so do you. You’ll face meaningful challenges and gain new skills while contributing to shared success – in Finland and beyond. We value curiosity and create the space for it to thrive.
• Inspiring and supportive teammates you can rely on. The best ideas and world-class entertainment are built together – and Veikkaus thrives because of its people.
• Balanced and inspiring work life. At Veikkaus, we believe a good job adds something to life – but isn’t all there is to it.
• Excellent employee benefits. You can read more about us and our benefits from here.

It is important to us that everyone can come to work as their authentic selves. We value diverse backgrounds, skills, and perspectives, and believe that success comes from working in diverse teams. We encourage individuals from various backgrounds to apply for our jobs.

The position is located at Veikkaus’ headquarters in Pohjois-Haaga, Helsinki. We work flexibly in a hybrid model. To foster collaboration and effective teamwork, we meet at the office three times a week.

Please note: The job requires a valid residence permit for all non-EU citizens.

Interested? Great! Submit your application with your salary request as soon as possible, but no later than 9.8.2026.

A standard background check in accordance with the Security Clearance Act (726/2014) and a drug test under Section 7 of the Act on the Protection of Privacy in Working Life (759/2004) will be conducted on the selected candidate.
